Hello there, lytaldvm.

 

To fix your opening balance to match with the ending balance in your bank statement, you can edit it in the Bank Register page. I'll show you how to do that.

 

  1. In your QuickBooks Online (QBO) company, go to the Hamburger icon and select Accounting.
  2. Choose Charts of Accounts and locate the account.
  3. Click the View Register to expand the page.
  4. Run through the list until you find any reconciled entries indicated with an R in the checkmark column. Only the Opening Balance Equity should show as reconciled.
  5. Enter the correct opening balance under the Deposit column.
  6. Hit Save.

 

I added these handy articles to guide you on the process: Fix beginning balance issues during your first reconciliation in QuickBooks Online.
